:yeah:Interesting Article Review in Advanced Aquarist.com by Sanjay Joshi.

Excerpt from Quantitative Comparison of Reef Aquarium Lighting Technologies: Metal Halide, T5 Fluorescent and LED

LED - Eco-Lamps KR92

In the last year LED technology has advanced quite significantly, making LED lighting an even more attractive option for reef keepers. A large number of these LED fixtures are being developed in the Asian countries.

One such LED fixture is the Eco-Lamps KR92 fixture.

A 24" version, with 91 LEDs was tested to evaluate the light distribution from some of the current generation of LEDs that are available in the market.

Figure 4 below shows the light distribution for this combination.

Peak values of PAR achieved were 224 micromoles/m2/sec at distance 24" from the center of the lamp, and 160 at 30" from the lamp center.

The power consumption as measured by a true RMS watt meter was 110 W.

Conclusions

Based on this quantitative data, is its quite obvious that the LEDs have come of age in providing a viable solution to lighting reef aquaria. While a lot of other factors that may be involved in making decisions such as power savings, cost, longevity, controllability, cost of ownership etc. these are not the factors considered here. Based solely on quantitative light output data, I am excited about the future of this technology for reef aquarium use.

In fact, I have replaced my lighting for the 29G reef aquarium with this Eco-Lamps KR-92 fixture, and am looking forward to replacing the 2X150W Metal Halides on my 55G reef with a 4ft version of this fixture.

Future articles will present results on other LED fixtures that I am currently evaluating.

:yeah:Loco Lobo Lobophytum, Aquacultured, ORAâ„¢ (Lobophytum sp.)

The Loco Lobo Lobophytum is a new release soft coral from Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums (ORAâ„¢) also referred to as Devil's Finger, Leather Coral, or Lobed Leather Coral. It is very difficult to identify an exact species because there is so much variation within the genus. It is closely related to corals of the Sarcophyton genus, and especially with small colonies, it is almost impossible to differentiate between the two. This stunning specimen is unique for its "insanely" yellow colored polyps.

Its behavior is peaceful, but it will still require space between others and itself within the reef aquarium. Some species are toxic to stony corals. It is very easy to maintain in the reef aquarium and makes an excellent coral for the beginning through expert reef aquarist. The Loco Lobo Lobophytum Coral will require medium to high lighting combined with medium to strong water movement. For continued good health, it will also require the addition of iodine, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.

The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae hosted within its body provides the majority of its nutritional needs from the light driven process of photosynthesis. It will also benefit from additional food such as micro-plankton, baby brine shrimp, or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates.

QUICK STATS

Supplements: Strontium, Iodine, Trace Elements

Origin: Aquacultured - ORA

Family: Alcyoniidae
